CMD + C / CMD + V (clipboard) not working

[AgtLucas]

Hello folks,

I'm trying to use that clipboard module to, you know, be able to Copy and Paste stuff into some inputs on my app, but, no joy (Only console.log() the clipboard value works).

I've tried this in both OS X and Windows 7 and already read another issues, such: #916 #1729 #1878

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Umm, are you using an keydown event on the document and checking if it's the v and c key and the ctrl key is pressed and then invoking the clipboard module?

[AgtLucas]

@steelbrain Nops. There's another way to use that?

Just an update. It's working on Windows 8.

I tried with clipboard.writeText('text'), it seems to write "text" to clipboard successfully?

You might want to implement a menu as shown in - moose-team/friends#123 (comment). Writing manual code for this can be somewhat of a pain.

Yep, fwiw I put this example together a few days ago that creates the standard application menus and enables copy/paste: https://github.com/bengotow/electron-sample-apps/tree/master/menus

Closing since it doesn't seem to be a bug.

Why is this not a bug? This is not really a common way to solve such behaviour

[dskvr]

Definitely a bug.

I agree with you. You cannot disable the menu edit but I do't know why.

const subMenuEdit = {
      label: 'Edit',
      submenu: [
        { label: 'Undo', accelerator: 'Command+Z', selector: 'undo:' },
        { label: 'Redo', accelerator: 'Shift+Command+Z', selector: 'redo:' },
        { type: 'separator' },
        { label: 'Cut', accelerator: 'Command+X', selector: 'cut:' },
        { label: 'Copy', accelerator: 'Command+C', selector: 'copy:' },
        { label: 'Paste', accelerator: 'Command+V', selector: 'paste:' },
        {
          label: 'Select All',
          accelerator: 'Command+A',
          selector: 'selectAll:'
        }
      ]
    };
